Rangers option Taylor Teagarden to minors

ARLINGTON – The Rangers have recalled RHP Darren O’Day from Triple-A Round Rock and optioned catcher Taylor Teagarden to the Triple-A Club. Teagarden’s presence in the big leagues had been that of an insurance policy that allowed the Rangers to play both Yorvit Torrealba and Mike Napoli in the lineup without risking of losing the DH position if one of them got hurt.

Teagarden has had just eight at-bats over two starts since being recalled on July 28. The Rangers lost both of those games.
